Finished product. The first time I made it, I didn’t take a good picture of the finished product. This is the second time I made it. It’s in a small clay pot, but the garlic sprouts were replaced with green peppers. Potato Chicken Hot Pot Cooking TipsIf making it into a hot pot, it is recommended to have a little more soup. After the chicken is finished, you can boil some lotus root, cauliflower, etc. to eat together. If it is the braised version, the juice needs to be collected at the end, and enough soup is enough during simmering.
I use a lot of bean paste, and the saltiness is basically enough, so the amount of salt is only determined based on the situation, not absolute.
Spicy oil is only added if you like spicy food. It adds color and spicy flavor. If you don’t like it, add it with caution or reduce the amount of bean paste.
As an authentic Sichuan girl, spicy food is indispensable. The sauce that is the soul of Sichuan cuisine - bean paste, has a taste that cannot be replaced by soy sauce and dark soy sauce.
